Latest stable versions:

The Orca package contains the Orca Perl script and all of the data gathering programs, i.e. orcallator.se and procallator.se. However, orcallator.se is sometimes updated more frequently than Orca and separate orcallator.se's are listed here.

Latest development snapshot:

Source code management system:

  • OrcaWare has a Subversion server that hosts all of the source code. This is the preferred means of checking out code, making modifications and submitting them back to the main source code repository.
